It appears the plug has unceremoniously been pulled on Serendipity 3 restaurant at Caesars Palace. And if you’ve ever had your plug pulled, even ceremoniously, you know how awkward that can be.<\/p>\n

Serendipity 3 restaurant closed on Jan. 2, 2017.<\/p>\n

It’s been rumored the space will be overhauled and become home to a new Gordon Ramsay restaurant concept, his fifth such partnership with Caesars Entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

\"Serendipity
We keep telling you not to get emotionally attached to things.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No specifics are available about the new Gordon Ramsay offering, nor has the new restaurant been officially announced.<\/p>\n

Serendipity 3 opened in April of 2009 and was expanded significantly<\/a> in late 2013.<\/p>\n

The closure of Serendipity 3 means the demise of the restaurant’s $1,000 Golden Opulence Sundae and what was the largest menu in Las Vegas and possibly the Western hemisphere. At one point, the menu boasted 116 items. Seriously.<\/p>\n

\"Serendipity
Security breaches are so much more fun when it’s something about to open rather than just closed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As the Serendipity 3 era ends, so too does a good deal of drama around the restaurant.<\/p>\n

In August 2016, the restaurant’s owner, Rowen Seibel, was jailed<\/a> for hiding about a million bucks from the IRS.<\/p>\n

\"Serendipity
Our money’s on Gordon Ramsay keeping the patio. It’s a summertime goldmine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The WTF twist here, of course, is that Seibel is a former business partner of (wait for it) the aforementioned Gordon Ramsay. He was involved in several of Gordon Ramsay’s establishments in Las Vegas, and the two had a serious falling out.<\/p>\n

Caesars Entertainment has no doubt been looking for a way to extricate itself from any entanglements with Seibel, and it appears handing over the reigns of the Serendipity 3 space to
\nGordon Ramsay is the way of choice.<\/p>\n

We have no idea what will become of the restaurant’s Tiffany lamp. The lamp made its debut<\/a> in 2014.<\/p>\n

\"Serendipity
It’s lights out for Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s unknown whether Caesars will continue to operate both Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill and the new Ramsay concept. The hotel’s Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill tends to get lukewarm reviews, as opposed to the glowing ones for BurGR at Planet Hollywood, Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris and Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips<\/a> at Linq, so it might be time to change things up.<\/p>\n

It would be awesome for Caesars Palace and Las Vegas if Ramsay were to tape a future “Hell’s Kitchen” season at his new restaurant in the Serendipity 3 space, but that remains to be seen, donkey.<\/p>\n

What, you expected us to write an entire story about Gordon Ramsay without a single reference to “donkey”? Do you know this Las Vegas blog at all?<\/p>\n

Update (1\/5\/17): Caesars Entertainment says the Serendipity 3 space will re-open as Stripside Cafe & Bar. The company hasn’t confirmed or denied the involvement of Gordon Ramsay in the new restaurant.<\/p>\n

Update (4\/28\/17): Caesars Palace announced Gordon Ramsay will open the first Hell’s Kitchen restaurant at the Strip resort on Dec. 1, 2017.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
